I want so much
To try something new
To forge a different path
Together, with you
An unbeaten track
Made of hopes that last
But we can't be new
If we can't shed our past

And you hang our past
Round my neck like a noose
One I'll never escape
If you can't let it loose
I carry these past cycles
Like a stone-made crown
And the sheer weight of it
Is what brings me down

I know you have real fears
Please know I do too
But to let them mislead us
Is to taint what is true
Please give me the chance
To show you I'm more
Than the patterns of old
that have all come before

For if one thing is constant
As we growth through our strife
It's that you, without question
Are the Love of my Life
